Nigeria’s Non-oil Sector Weakens As GDP Expands By 1.87% In Q1 2020 / Paddy Adenuga On Losing A Good Woman, Recalls How It Happened / With Each Giant Stride, Segun Adebutu’s Petrolex Is Reshaping The Oil Sector (2) (3) (4)
Oil Sector Fast Losing Attraction, Says SPE by edunwablog: 6:14am On Aug 08, 2018 |
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) has said Nigeria’s oil and gas sector is fast losing its relevance, given the realities of today’s marketplace.According to the body, an economy like Nigeria that depends largely on the sector was taking an uncalculated risk, as the end might be catastrophic. It stressed the need to diversify oil-dependent economies like Nigeria “at this stage of our development and its imperative in securing our future.”Speaking at the 42nd Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition (NAICE 2018) in Lagos, the chairman, SPE Nigeria Council, Chikezie Nwosu, said: “In the next half-century or less, the place of oil and gas in the global market may not be very much favourable for such an undiversified economy as ours. “This is the right time (some say, we may already be running late) to effectively take advantage of the oil and gas industry to drive other sectors of the economy, such as gas, to power our gas-based industries, manufacturing, agro-allied, alternative and renewable energy, banking, ICT, public health, among others, to full maturity and self sustainability.” The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Diversification of the Nigerian Economy: The Oil & Gas Industry as an Enabler. Nwosu noted that the energy sector remained pivotal in shaping economic development globally. This, he added, was especially so for Nigeria, whose bulk of export earnings is derived from crude oil. “To remain competitive and relevant in the global economy, the position of the oil and gas industry as the bedrock of the Nigerian economy requires a paradigm shift from a consumer product to an enabler for diversifying the economy,” the SPE boss advised. Meanwhile, after decades of difficulties in Nigeria over crude theft, pollution and oil-related corruption, Royal Dutch Shell Plc is still optimistic that fossil fuel can improve life in the country. The Anglo-Dutch oil major wants to develop Nigeria’s domestic energy market around natural gas.According to the Managing Director of Shell Nigeria Gas, Ed Ubong, it is plentiful, harder to steal, better for the environment and can underpin a robust industrial sector that could potentially employ thousands,” He believes that Shell has done the groundwork to set up a gas-based system, and that the organisation’s influence and large balance sheet can transform Nigeria’s population into a new market, according to a Bloomberg report. “Imagine if you held maybe $100 million in the United States, would it convince you to set up a factory in Nigeria?” Ubong asked in an interview at Shell’s compound in Port Harcourt.“The first thought companies have is: Do I have power?” he concluded. http://www.akelicious.net/2018/08/oil-sector-fast-losing-attraction-says.html

But brain dead president thought that diversifying economy is only investing into Agriculture because he wants to make his Alamajiri brothers Rich. He doesn't understand that building economy involves Having much working Manufacturing and Processing industries and also having a finance minister with a functional innovative brain backed up by his positive policies that will allow Industries import raw materials at a favorable tax rate chikina 20 Likes 3 Shares |

Donald95:the amount of hate and tribalism you people carry around is surprising. This is still morning and the night sleep didn't dilute it Just so you know, the post oil era go pain everything in Nigeria animate and inanimate. Ordinary slump in price of crude and Igbos are already crying about dollar scarcity. Imagine when there's none. Current Nigeria set up favors we Igbos too much but it's import based and we are basically importers but lack of oil will change all others and may not favor us like that.

Amberon11: No problem but I never mentioned any groups in particular. Anambra alone has the largest proven gas reserves in Nigeria but you won’t see me dancing about it. I care more that the state continues to diversify its economy for the rainy day. No real life nation builds its future on natural resources. There are existing technologies that will disrupt so many natural resource based economies. Even if the use of oil continues, it’s demand will significantly diminish which will affect its price in the global market. As for gas, just pray that there is a delay in the development of lasting batteries for energy storage. Once that barrier is broken which I suspect that it will, The demand for gas on the international market will also crash. In the future, most houses will get their energy from the sun and store excess in batteries for night time use. Most cars will be electric and it will be recharged with energy produced free from the sun. Continue hoping on Gas. You will be very disappointed with what’s coming. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Donald95:the president just like every dumb politician whom we have given power in this country sought out the easiest way to raise money which is to tax the already existing businesses. Now imagine a situation where there's no oil money then what will happen to the import tariffs and co. It's we the masses be it igbo, Hausa or Yoruba no matter because we are all in this together but the political class which includes but not limited to Buhari, saraki, and Ben Bruce will always enjoy the limited resources which they have looted and will continue looting If you remove hate from your life,you would realize that no single Nigerian politician cares about your wellbeing.

Best news I've heard in decades. Hopefully one day the oil industry will be as relevant as the furniture making industry, just another basis point in the GDP of Nigeria. A situation where just one company Shell Petroleum feeds three out of every ten civil servants, builds five out of every ten kilometres of roads and buys six out of every ten bullets shot in anger against Boko Haram is not only strategically diagraceful but is one of the reasons why we are perpetually poor as a nation. 1 Like |

Re: Oil Sector Fast Losing Attraction, Says SPE by gurunlocker: 8:34am On Aug 08, 2018 |
Our president said his government would diversify the economy, within the first 3 years, nothing has happened. In fact, they are even looking for more places where they could find crude oil in the north, I believe that's their own meaning of "diversification".... The agriculture sector they keep shouting was the work of previous government, I wonder what they would have even achieved if not for that. |

Do we need any soothsayer to tell us oil is gone. Data is the new oil, the new gold. It is everywhere. Whoever and whatever institution that can make meaning out of it will be smiling to the bank. Isn't it obvious we don't have visionary leaders. Countries are investing in data related technology. IoT, blockchain, crypto, AR, VR and loads but we are still talking oil. The slump in oil price made many individuals loose interest in oil. This last slump hit us bad. Maybe if the price gets to a 100 dollars, it will look attractive 2 Likes |
